What have you done to your Tacoma today? 1st Gen Edition

Yeah but 1135 means air/fuel sensor issue.

Well balls.. I guess that’s why my reverse lights have been out.. thought I needed new bulbs. Now why the crap is my cel on then?! I must be missing something

 

No clue, maybe you disconnected something else. The switch is cheap and easy to replace. It’s a simple ball switch. Sometimes you can remove it and make sure it’s not stuck.

 

Sometimes the switches just go out too. I've had three of them go out on my Land Cruiser, they're bathed in oil so eventually something breaks down.

 

Picked up tires
Removed sway bar
Removed mud flaps

Stock mob run with an old wheeling buddy tomorrow. @stumpyy04 both with stock Tacoma’s

 

Swapped out my shifters today for some nice black ones. Liking it so far.

 

Where did u buy them ?looks way better

 

Well... This picture was about 10 hours ago.


Since then:
1 - 4 hour round trip to Sacramento.✔
(Thank you @FirstTimeFirstGen for coming through on some loaner Billies since the shop failed to get my new coils in time.)

Lift front end with loaner billies ✔

Lift rear end by making a poor man's progressive leaf pack by adding in a leaf from a 5 lug ✔

Install new wheels and tires ✔

Special thank you to @foxrcing07 and @CalTacoma09 for staying with it, at my house, wrenching on my truck with me till after midnight.

I can not say thank you to all 3 of you enough.

Pics of the total badassary of my Taco in the morning when there is some light.

 

I actually got it for free from my bros old 4runner. Was going to buy one on eBay but he’s parting out his truck and said I could have it.

 

Same here. I really like the black finish of the 4Runner console so I went ahead and used a shifter console from a 1996 4Runner when I did my 4WD conversion.

This isn’t the best picture, but it’s all I could find. Please excuse the taco crumbs on my floormats.

 

Caught this washing the truck last week.

 

Mmmm soapy

 

That's not soap

 

Ha yeah.

Nice and clean

 

Since my welders is still in the shop I figure not to waist any time waiting on it. So I will be doing a lot of cleaning and work on the issue of my slow windows.

But I got my fatmat in and wanting advice on the best way to put it on the doors. Do I pull the plastic and put it inside the doors or do I leave the plastic and lay it over that? Never done this before ever and just need some input.

 

They don't rub when you're going hard off-road?

Oh wait, silly me I forgot who I was talking to.

 

Pull the plastic and put a layer on the exterior skin of the door, then put a layer on the inside of the plastic door panel as well.

 

Oh got ya. Thanks.

 

I like where you’ve got your ScanGauge mounted. Can you read the display while driving down there?

 

window rain guards? I looked those up a bit ago for around that price. If you’re talking the extruded rubber for between the door & cab I seem to recall getting that by the foot for much less on my ‘95.
